Chapter 12- Another Clue

Okay, I had a talk with my close cousin about my break down, and now everything is "A O.K."! And my grades aren't slipping any more so I don't have that extra burden any more.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kids Next Door but I'm happy! If I did, I'd STILL be happy! Whee!

"Wha'?" Wally asked. "Another clue?"

"Yes, another clue..." Nigel replied. He lowered his voice, even if it was quiet enough that Wally could barely even hear him. "It's on the walls..."

"On the walls?" he replied. He now stood back up straight and laughed heartily. "Whoa, Numbuh 1, you had me going for a second! I see nott'ing on these walls. Something the matter up thare?"

Nigel rolled his eyes in response. "It's not that visible, stupid!"

"Well then, what do ya mean?"

"Ok, it started when I woke up..."

"Nigel Uno! Stop that ruckus over there, dearie, and let us grown-ups get some sleep!"

The voice of his mother was still ringing in his ears when he had sat up straight. Noises of crashes were heard and he looked around. He immediately put on his shades when he heard the noises. His head shifted from side to side.

"Bloody hell, Nigel! Keep it down!" called his father's voice.

Nigel mumbled a few choice words when he had gotten out of his bed. A scream was heard and he turned sharply. It sounded like--

"Oh no, Numbuh 4!"

Going towards the yelling, the pace of his legs were getting quicker. Quicker and quicker. The pounding of his heart quickening. More yells were heard. And a loud crash. Beads of sweat dripped. He couldn't find them.

"Guys!"

But then...all had stopped.

His expression turned from scared to surprise. When he had collided with the wall, strange markings were felt in the walls. Feeling through the markings, he realized they were letters. Or numbers for that matter. Getting out the spray can in the drawer, he sprayed over the numbers.

5-2-1-4-3

Nigel stepped back to look at the marvel at the numbers. The ground shook but stopped abruptly, and surprisingly, he heard soft pretty whispers of:

Nigel Uno...I'm here...I had already gotten one friend... but I'm here to get you now.

"What do you want with me?" he replied.

Your suffering...

"Suffering?" Nigel replied. "You're never taking me alive! I'm not gonna let you harm me or my teammates! You have already hurt one! But one is one too many!"

On the contrary... I've already gotten you... It's only a matter of time I get her...

This voice was harsher than the one before. How loud it wasn't the whole problem, it was of a terrifying woman that frightened him. For a strange reason he thought that the one causing all of this was a male. But he had been wrong. Something was up.

Nigel now heard banging. He felt like a deer caught in the headlights. Scared to death and not knowing what to do. The beads of sweat started to drip again. His usual pale face had gotten paler than usual.

Plip! Plop! Down went the sweat.

I shouldn't let them take me! He thought. But how?

Unfortunately, whips from all sides had attacked him. They grabbed his wrists, ankles and waist. They were cutting through his skin. The blood wasn't circulating. The pain was too much to bear.

"Now... tell me where she is..." the once more soft and gentle voice said.

"Who are you talking about?" he replied.

"You know who... I mean K—"

But the ground shaking more had occurred again and the woman had screamed; then had gone away. Nigel Stood still, waiting for the voice to come back, but it didn't... Silently, he ran; ran to tell the others about the news, for it was a great help. He kept running, but still no team member was in view. Sighing in frustration, he dashed to Numbuh 5's room, but then realized no one could possibly be there! Running to Numbuh 4's room wasn't all great of a task when he realized that Wally had not been there. Apparently, Hoagie wasn't either in his. This was getting frustrating.

He then ran towards Numbuh 3's room...

"...And that's what had happened..." Nigel said a quite bit louder than before. "Listen... we have to find out who they are trying to get..."

"Wait! Before everything..." Wally said before Nigel continued. "How can that person who's trying to capture one of us be talking to you if he was with us?"

"'He'?" Nigel asked. "The one who was talking to me was a she, remember?"

"Well then... That means they must be in this together, or both out to get whoever-they're-looking-for before the other gets him or her, huh?"

"Yes... I guess you can say that..."

"Hm..."

"Nigel Montgomery Uno!" called Nigel's Mother's voice. "I told you to get rid of that racket or I shall have to come up there to get you!"

"Wow, she has good hearing..." whispered Wally.

"Yes, Mother! I'll behave!" Nigel called back. Then he muttered a few words a bit earshot, "Stupid parents having... God! It makes me sick to... Jeez, will they leave us alone!"

"Heh, heh," Wally laughed a bit sinisterly. "Your middle name is Montgomery!"

"Oh shut up!" Nigel said bitterly walking away.

Wally giggled to himself as he walked towards his own room, not realizing that a great pair of violet eyes was watching him...

Uh. Review!

PS I don't really know if Montgomery is Nigel's last name, but I decided it matched! Oh and his father seems so much like a kind hearted man, I decided, there must be some mean side to him... perhaps at night when he's sleepy (Who isn't? Oh, I know, my mom) Please Review...
